GOP Baffled As Voters Rally to Popular Candidate

By
Ann Coulter

Donald Trump's latest
bombshell, claiming the Bush administration lied about weapons of mass destruction
to get us into the Iraq War, is just him doing wheelies on the way to the
nomination. He's apparently decided it would be fun to taunt the entire GOP by
demonstrating that he can say anything and his voters won't care.

I wish he'd stop
showing off, the little scamp, but maybe the GOP establishment will finally get
the message that voters have been waiting a really long time for a candidate
who would put Americans first. Not donors, not plutocrats, not foreigners, and
certainly not foreign plutocrats (i.e., Fox News).

Trump is the first
presidential candidate in 50 years who might conceivably: (1) deport illegal
aliens, (2) build a wall, (3) block Muslim immigration, (4) flout political
correctness, (5) bring manufacturing home, and (6) end the GOP's neurotic
compulsion to start wars in some godforsaken part of the world.

That's all that
matters! Are you listening yet, RNC?

There is not another
candidate who agrees with Trump on all these positions. Maybe one issue, but
not all of them -- and if it's immigration, they would be lying.

Even Ted Cruz still
refuses to say he'd deport illegal aliens (unless they're arrested for breaking
some other law), build a wall (instead he talks about "border
security," which is code for: No Wall), or reduce legal immigration at
all.

Trump is like a
greatest-hits album. The two political parties are the record companies,
refusing to put all the hits on one album and instead forcing us to choose
between Republicans who will depress wages through immigration and bad trade
deals, or Democrats who pretend to care about working-class Americans while
sacralizing abortion and gay marriage.

Trump is right about
President Bush not keeping us safe -- though not about his "Bush
lied" argument that makes me want to strangle him. This is what Trump said
last October on "Coyote News Sunday" (FNC) about how things would
have been different on 9/11 under President Trump:

"Well, I would
have been much different, I must tell you. ... I am extremely, extremely tough
on illegal immigration. I'm extremely tough on people coming into this country.
I believe that if I were running things, I doubt ... that those people would
have been in the country."

And that was before
Trump announced his plan for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration! (By
contrast, as governor of Florida, Jeb! aggressively pushed a bill to allow
illegal aliens to get driver's licenses, less than three years AFTER 13 of 19
hijackers used Florida driver's licenses to board the planes on 9/11.)

It is apparently
considered less controversial to send a million troops to the Middle East than
to stop printing visas for would-be terrorists.

It's not just George
W. Bush's open-borders policy that cries out for re-examination. During a
debate with Al Gore one year before the 9/11 attack -- committed by Arabs on
U.S. commercial airlines -- he pre-emptively denounced the racial profiling of
Arabs by airport security.

In June 2001 -- three
months before the attack committed by Arabs on U.S. commercial airlines -- the
Bush administration undertook a study to ensure that Arabs were not being
disproportionately stopped by airport security.

When U.S. Airways
ticket agent Michael Tuohey laid eyes on Mohamed Atta on the morning of 9/11,
he got a "chill" and thought to himself, "If this guy doesn't
look like an Arab terrorist, then nothing does." But then, he says, he
gave himself a politically correct "slap," and handed Atta his
ticket.

Atta proceeded to
murder 3,000 Americans. But at least no undue scrutiny of Arabs was taking
place at U.S. Airports!

The Marco Rubios,
Nikki Haleys, Paul Ryans, Jeb!, Zeppo and Shemp Bushes of the GOP say: "Vote
for me -- we may have a terrorist attack, but at least we'll know we did the
right thing!" Trump says: "I'm going to protect you."

That's why it doesn't
matter when Trump pops off and says things that are not conservative orthodoxy
-- or even true!

Even if you think
Trump is a libertine, shallow narcissist, you know he will do what no other
Republican will: Go to Washington, kick ass, mock political correctness, build
a wall, deport illegals, bring manufacturing home, and end the GOP's peculiar
fixation with remaking the Muslim world.

This is our last
chance. It's similar to the "point of no return" global warming
alarmists keep talking about, except our data isn't fake.

At our current rate
of immigration/transformation, if we don't break the donor fever grip now, we
never will. This kind of correction isn't just a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity, it's a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

The GOP didn't hear
us with Eric Cantor, with the 2014 election or with John Boehner. After all
that, they still gave us Nikki Haley and Paul Ryan. President Trump is the last
and only message they will understand.
